I have taken roughly 10 grams of gabapentin over the last 12 hours, with no tolerance to the drug whatsoever. So far I have only experienced some fairly strong stimulant effects and increased sociability. I am continuing to feel the effects get stronger after every dose. I re-dose about every hour. My question is, how long can I keep re-dosing, and if i continue to re-dose, am I risking any negative effects or will my body just stop absorbing the drug? I read that it's nearly impossible to die from gabapentin, but my concern lies in bad side effects or overdose symptoms. Thanks for any input.

I read somewhere about someone taking 49 grams gabapentin and living to tell the tale. I think gabapentin is a really safe chemical when it comes to side effects and overdose...
Still after 11 grams I think you would do best to just give up and let tolerance settle for a while.
edit: here is some info from pfizer
Mouse Oral LD50 >5000 mg/kg
Rat Oral LD50 > 5000 mg/kg
Rat IV LD50 > 2000 mg/kg
Mouse IV LD50 1000-2000 mg/kg

Oh wow, thanks for the Ld50, I've been doing quite a bit of research on gabapentin but I didn't think to look that up...
I don't even access to that much, and considering I'm not stumbling around and I can type this out, I think I'll be fine.
Gabapentin so far seems like a cure all to me, although I haven't build a tolerance yet, so I'll see how it goes after I take a break. I plan on taking it at therapeutic doses from now on.
I'm also seeing a psyc about my ADHD and anxiety that has been untreated since I got out of rehab a couple of weeks ago. I was planning on getting back on vyvanse and lexapro, now I'm hoping he'll be open to Lyrica instead. I have a feeling that this chemical might actually help me stay sober if I take it as prescribed instead of trying to get high.
